Tunica
Tunica is a casino resort town in northwest part of Mississippi on the Mississippi river.

Lodging
While Oxford has no luxury hotels, a boutique hotel is planned to be located just off the Square behind city hall. It will feature a Viking Culinary Arts Institute, spa, and fine dining.

However, if you are coming for a game weekend, nearly all the rooms are presold as a package deal for the season. Occasional rooms do open up though, but chances are slim. The next closest town with motels is Batesville (25 miles) to More...

Pubs & Bars
One favorite watering hole is the Burgundy Room, which has a great balcony overlooking the Square. You can access it by a staircase between Old Venice and the Southside Gallery. The City Grocery Bar is located a few doors down above its namesake restaurant. It also has a great balcony, but the Burgundy Room is more popular with younger preppy college students, while the twenty-something and older crowd tends to prefer "The Grocery." The Downtown Grill also has a great upscale bar popular with preppy students and the older crowd alike. "The More...

Dining
For a town of only 15,000 (25,000 when school is in session), Oxford is blessed with a wide variety of dining choices. Home to the Southern Foodways Alliance , Oxford has evolved into a "mecca....which draws professional food scholars as well as amateur eaters" according to Food & Wine writer, Pete Wells. City Grocery, The Downtown Grill, 208, and L&M's Salumeria are highly recommended for upscale fine dining. For more casual fare, you can't go wrong with Old Venice or Ajax. For a true Mississippi More...
